What Are You Giving You Mother For Mother's Day?

Well, we have had our Mothers Day in the UK, and as usual I made a mistake in choosing something for my Mum, even though I did not think that what I had chosen was that bad. I had bought her a bone china mug with a little tray and on it was a really lovely poem about Mums and I just thought it was really nice. According to my eldest son who works with her, she was really upset about it because I had bought her a cup, this in turn upset me as she obviously did not read the words on it. Anyway neither of us said anything about it!!!

I am not sure what I am getting mum for mother's day this year - I will be going shopping tomorrow, lol.

It's hard to figure out what to give my mother. She says she doesn't want jewelry or clothes. She doesn't really need anything but of course we have to give her something. We found her a card and a nice gift set for her bathroom. It comes with candles and decorative soap along with a shell container. Her bathroom is blue with shells, this matches it perfectly. I'd like to get her more but I don't have a clue what to give. If we ask she says she doesn't want anything or doesn't want us to spend the money but if we don't she gives the guilt trip of how all she gets is a card or a call. Maybe tomorrow when we are doing our grocery shopping I'll spot something else for her.

Did you actually put the bracelet in a regular envelope and send it to her?????????? Or did you put it in some wrapping and put that and the card in some kind of padded envelope that is for sending packages? If you sent it in a plain envelope with the card I would have to say "what were you thinking?" I can't imagine that you would really think it would get there at all much less in tact. Also real cash is not supposed to be sent through the mail as it is very unlikely to get there because it can be stolen along the way. A check would be safer. I hate to say this but your icon is of a nature that can cause readers to have seizures or people who suffer from migraines to suffer a serious attack. By the time someone sees your icon it is too late even if they close the window quickly. These people are not even aware often that this could be a trigger for their seizures or migraines but they may suffer for days after seeing this icon. I hope you will consider changing it to something less bright and not moving. if you have a question, please respond to this post and I am happy to respond with medical information. Thank you.

I plan to take my mother out for dinner. She and I both hate to cook and clean. I figure she would like that.

I would never send my Mum money. I'd just feel that it wasn't personal enough. I guess that's a personal thing, because sometimes receiving money that you can choose your own gift with is the best thing of all. I'd consider it for other people, but not for my Mum. Isn't that illogical! I normally just send my Mum a card for Mother's Day. Sometimes I'll get some nice smellies or something too, but it depends whether I'll see her in person.

My mother is 83 years old and has more jewelry and clothing that she knows what to do with. She even started giving away her brooches. Also, the Wednesday after Mother's Day she is moving out of our house of 42 years into a retirement residence. She is getting rid of a lot of stuff including everything for the kitchen as she will only have a little kitchenette in her suite and eating in the dining room with the rest of the residence. And since she is moving shortly getting her flowers is not feasible. With my maiden name being Bird my mother has a Bird collection. She calls it her Bird Sanctuary. So I have bought a couple of birds to put on her little tree, which I believe she will be taking with her. This Mother's Day is going to be weird. I be my only family will forget about me because one kid has indoor soccer finals, the other is going to be away at an outdoor tournament, and my husband is running a half-marathon. I will probably be completely forgotten.

I just bought my mom a night gown which was nice. We were shopping and she said she liked this night gown so I picked it up when she was right there so no surprise but there will be a surprise. I'm bringing my kids to go have their picture taken b/c my MIL wants an updated picture of my kids and even though it won't be ready by mothers day they will still be happy to get it since we don't buy many pictures. I usually take my own and MIL doesn't use a computer so she never gets them. That and of course b/c she never really talks to us only when she has to.

I live with my mother, and she loves Carnations. I will give her some and wish her a Happy Mother's Day. I'm always there for her. I know her by now, all she wants is for the family to call and wish a Happy Mothers day. She don't ask for much.

I'll be giving my mom an ecard and I'm not sure what else. It depends on my cash flow. LOL!!!

I always give my mother a card & a basket of flowers. And of course spend the day with her. I think she appreciate's that the most. She is the best mother in the world. I wish I had the money to send her on a cruise or something, but times are tuff! Maybe I should buy her a gas card. Now thats something we could all use!

I got my mom 2 cards because I couldn't chose between two so, I sent her both. And, I also got her this cute cheese grater in the shape of a cone with a triangle of cheese on top of it and a mouse sitting on top of the cheese. My mom loves mice so, I thought it was cute and, while she probably won't use the grater, she can keep it on her kitchen counter top. It is sort of quirky and, I am not sure she will like it but, I hope she does. I normally feel confident about what I get her but, not this time.

the best gift I can give to my Mother on this coming Mother's day is my presence together with my two kids because she also lives far away at the province, I know she'll be happy to see us because she misses her grandkids. I'll also cook her favorite dish

i'm gonna give my mom some plant orchid because she really loves flowers and that's one of her weaknesses

Usually i try and do something special for my mom, grandma and mother in law...but this year im getting them each a plant that will come back year after year instead of cut flowers that soon wilt and are forgotten.

Well, this year I'm sending her a really cute "Mom" t-shirt I got a JCPenney's. She'll like it and wear it. Other years, I've sent cookie mugs or bouquets or gone to Ebay and sent some baked goods from a few sellers on there that have really good stuff. In fact, I haven't mailed it yet and have to get off here and get to the post office.

every year i give my mom flowers and a card. it is the only thing i can think of her and it is what she likes. She always tells me she doesn't want anything, so I get her flowers for her garden because I know she'll like that.

The month of May for me is three fold. My wife is a nurse so she gets something for nurses week. It's Mother's Day right after that and then her b-day follows that, Whew! We call it the month of mom. She'll get roses, dinner, cards and I have to be on my best behavior for a whole month. ;)

we do not have alot of money right now but i invited her over for dinner and i will give her a card and a small gift. wish i could do more but she understands.

I would buy her her favorite chocolate cake and surprise her with it. In our family, we treat Mother's and Father's day as a special day. I feel though that you should make your parents feel special everyday, even it isn't Mother's or Father's day. :)
